Basement Wall And Ceiling Covering


Is there any produce that can be glued/attached directly to basements walls that will be insulated and have a finished side?

Would like this to avoid framing and finishing drywall. I once saw an office that was constructed with wall panels of this nature, even thicker interior walls that slipped together as tongue and groove. Basement will be mainly a wood shop with one finished room of living.

Just insulate your walls by whatever method you prefer, polystyrene or fiberglass in a studded frame, then brick veneer.

One of the guys in the masonry section has got the maintenance schedule for brick and it's easy to follow.

This make a really nice interior for rec rooms, etc. Get yourself a rustic brick.

I agree if you are talking about white cabbage. But red cabbage gives off a nice modern wine bar atmosphere.
